The traditional idea of a long, elaborate honeymoon is undergoing a dramatic shift as Gen Z couples increasingly choose shorter, high-impact escapes over extended trips. Their changing lifestyles, financial realities and appetite for personalised experiences are driving a new honeymoon culture defined by flexibility, value and emotional connection.
Gen Z newlyweds are prioritising agility and authenticity, seeking honeymoons that reflect their personalities and shared interests rather than conventional week-long itineraries. According to Dr Vikas Katoch, Founder and CEO of Adotrip, personalisation and practicality now guide the honeymoon landscape.
“Gen Z newlyweds are transforming honeymoon culture, replacing long vacations with flexible, real-time experiences. Seventy per cent of Gen Z travellers in India believe that multiple short trips offer better value than one long holiday,” he says.
This shift aligns with broader post-pandemic travel behaviour, where young Indians increasingly lean toward shorter but more meaningful breaks that fit into already busy schedules.
The average honeymoon budget for young couples now ranges between ?1 lakh and ?2 lakh, with many opting for premium or customised experiences over a single long trip. Dr Katoch notes that nearly 35% of honeymoon bookings at Adotrip comprise short, experiential getaways, often planned for weekends or extended holidays.
These short escapes could be a three-day beach holiday, a mountain hideaway, or a quick cultural immersion — but the key factor is that the trip mirrors the couple’s identity and emotional connection.
